Introduction
Seems I am once again required to write up a guide for any would-be Speedrunners who need to know where to find all of the collectables and help them identify the fastest possible route. While finding all the Hooligan Girls is a lot less brain-teasing than finding all the Dream Squids (For some of them, it's borderline impossible to miss them), there were still a few obscure ones that I felt warranted a guide on them, especially Hypno Castle.

Before I start, though, I'd like to share with you a little speedrunning tip I have: Sometimes it's faster to kill yourself with the blocks and respawn at a previous location than it is to go back the other way. This is especially true in Stage 4:2.

With that out of the way, onto the guide:
Stage 1:1
The first girl you'll find is Risky on a high platform by a wall of boxes.

Continue to the right and you'll find a smaller wall of boxes next to a ledge you can jump onto. Use those to reach her.


The next girl is Rottytops, on top of another platform where you'll find a mermaid.

Once again continue right and use the provided boxes to jump to a platform with a large vase on it, then jump on the box wall and up to Rotty.


The third girl is Sky, hiding away in a corner as you climb boxes to get past a wall.


Fourth girl is Twitch, hiding under a wooden platform after the section where cannon balls are launched at you.


And finally, the fifth girl is Twitch, atop a platform near the end of the level.

Continue right and use the boxes as stairs to reach her.
Stage 1:2
When you first enter this stage, ignore the impulse to climb the boxes and continue right. You'll find Risky Boots waiting where the level normally progresses.


Once you climb to the top of the building, head onto the hanging platform on your left.

You'll find a series of boxes that you can use to cross over to Rottytops.



Head right and climb on top of the ledge with two large vases.

Drop down to the right and you'll find Twitch hiding under a row of boxes.


Head back left and climb down the stairs. You'll find Sky towards the end.


Finally, at the end of the level, you'll find a row of boxes floating above a Tinkerbat.

Use them to climb to Vinegar.
Stage 2:1
Risky is located in a little cave at the lower right corner of the map, blocked off by a set of... Blocks.



Continue through the level as you would normally until you come to a set of blocks acting as a stairway. Towards the left of this, you'll find Rottytops.



After climbing this section, you'll find a set of blocks making a backwards L shape on a platform.

Switch through these blocks and work your way to the other end. You'll find Twitch at the end of the platforms.



Heading back right, you'll come to another platform with two blocks floating off of its edge.

Jump onto that platform, and you'll come to another block stairway that will take you to a jumping trial.

At the end of this trial, you'll find Vinegar.



To find the last girl, drop down through the platform. You'll land on a set of blocks above another set of blocks, leading into another cave.

Inside of this cave, you'll find Sky.
Stage 2:2
Once again head to the lower right corner of the map and shoot through the wall of stones.

Inside the cave, you'll find a block trial.

Get through to the other end to find Rotty.


Head through the level until you get to a set of metal platforms a bit above the cave entrance with a crab walking along it.

You'll find Sky in the lower corner.


Continue through the level again until you come to a block jumping trial with an electric bat on the right side.

Jump onto the platform on the right, and use the block to climb up to Risky.


During the rail segment across the map, you'll notice a set of blocks making a stairway towards the left corner. Jump onto these blocks and climb down to find Twitch.


Finally, at the center of the level, you'll find a set of block platforms next to the rails.

Climb up these blocks and you'll find Vinegar on the center platform.
Stage 2:3
Okay, I hope your reflexes are up to snuff, because these girls are gonna come at you fast; and if you want a 100% speedrun, you better get them all in one go!

Just when you finished the first barrel section, you'll need to give it a little hop to capture Twitch.

After you make the first jump, you'll find Rottytops waiting for you.


During the series of jumps, you'll find Risky in the middle of it. Be sure to give it the slightest of hops, or you'll slide right under her.

As the second set of barrels are coming from behind you, you'll find Sky just above them.

And finally, as you transition into the bramble, just before the hazard platform, give it a jump to capture Vinegar.
Stage 3:1
Right off the bat, you'll find Twitch standing on a platform next to a set of box stairs.

You'll next find Risky between a set of box pillars and a sandstone pillar.

Third girl is Sky, standing on a platform above the first pool of water.


Fourth girl is Rottytops. After getting through a box shifting puzzle, she'll be hiding under a platform with a spike-shooting enemy.


And finally, towards the end of the level, right after you get past a platforming puzzle above quicksand, you'll find Twitch right off the ledge.
Stage 3:2
Once again, you'll need to get through this level perfectly if you want to get a 100% speedrun.

As you climb the tower, you'll soon come across a platforming puzzle. You'll find Twitch standing in front of a fire shooter.


The second girl you'll find is Rottytops, towards the left of a platforming section by a fire shooter.


The third girl is Sky, next to yet another stairway puzzle across from a harpy.

To get to her, you'll need to climb up further and jump off from the blocks closets to the fire shooters on the right.

To get back onto the main course, the platforms will need to be in the reverse position of the image with Sky in it, and you'll need to jump to the nearest block. This will put you close to Wilbur, but don't worry. If you're fast enough, you won't get caught in his hit-box.

To find the fourth girl, take the right section when you come to this intersection:
You'll find Risky Boots on a platform above a fire shooter.

Word of advice, make sure the pair of blocks below the hook are deactivated before trying to leave. If you don't do this, you won't be able to jump to the other side as easily, and might fall into Wilbur.

The last girl can be found during the final climbing puzzle. During the section with three fire shooters, you'll notice a set of blocks going off towards the top right.
You'll find Vinegar in the hidden corner.
Stage 3:3
The first girl you'll find is Vinegar, hiding under the main platform next to a row of alternating blocks.

Continue to the right and drop onto the lower platform. From there, use the blocks to cross over to Vinegar.
If you switch when you're about to leave the middle of the blocks, you can run across the blocks without jumping.

The second girl is Sky, next to a block puzzle above a bottomless pit. To get to her, stand on the blocks over her and drop down.


The next girl you'll find is Rottytops, standing on a platform above a spike-shooting enemy. Since she has a double alternating wall to her left, you'll need to head to her right to get her.


Later on, you'll come to a platforming section under Risky Boots.

Continue on to the right to reach the point where you can get onto her platform.

As you could see in the above image, Twitch is hiding in the corner to your right. Continue further right, and you'll find a set of blocks that will let you reach her.
Stage 4:1
Just like with the slide section, these hooligans are going to come at you fast.

The first girl is going to be Risky, floating in the first platforming section above a block.


The second girl, Sky, is going to be on the middle platform first blimp that will get shot down. It'll be the blimp after the next blimp.


Third girl is Vinegar on the first platform of the next blimp.


On the next platform blimp, you'll find Rottytops on the middle section.


And finally, during the cave section, you'll find Twitch above a balloon hook.
Stage 4:2
Did you know that, despite the fact that you can't crouch in officer mode, you can drop through thin platforms?
I didn't. Until this level.

The first hooligan is located in the second airship.

Inside, you'll find a block puzzle that leads to Vinegar.


The second girl is located on the airship with a laser shooting down on it from above.

Inside, you'll find a block puzzle that will take you up to Risky Boots.

The key to this puzzle is to get on top of the blocks on the right and then wait until the laser is all the way on the right, then make a b-line for her.

Third girl is located in a rather plain looking ship after a platforming section with drop platforms on it.

Inside, you'll find a block puzzle leading you to Twitch.


The fourth hooligan is located on the ship with two lasers scrapping across it.

Inside, you'll find a block puzzle leading you to Rottytops.


And finally, as you can see from the above ship image, the final girl is located in the other room on the scrapping laser ship.
Stage 4:3
The first hooligan is right behind you. As you fall into the level, you'll see Vinegar in the top left corner. Go through the platforming puzzle to reach her.


To find the next girl, head towards the end of the next hallway and climb up to the hidden room.

Inside, you'll find a platforming puzzle that will take you to Risky Boots in the top left corner.


The third girl can be found in the next major room. Climb up to the top left corner to find Sky.


The fourth and fifth girls can both be found in the next major area. Rottytops can be found in the little covet next to a spike floor.


Once again climb to the top left corner of this room and you'll find Twitch.
Stage 5:1
Just like my guide for Friends Till the End, I have chosen to create a map of Hypno Castle marking every Hooligan location.
Stage 5:2
After the first platforming section, you'll find Sky right before you enter the next one.


During the platforming section around spike blocks, you'll find Risky Boots hiding under one.


During the next walkway section, you'll find Vinegar.


After that, during the next platformign section, you'll find Rottytops under a set of blocks.


And finally, at the end of the level, you'll find Twitch on top of the exit.
Stage 6:1
After getting past the first platforming section over lava, you'll find Vinegar standing between a set of blocks.


After defeating the Tinkerbeast, you'll find Twitch hiding under a block.


After transitioning to the next screen, you'll find Sky on a block platform above lava between two Pincers.


After getting across another lava platforming section, you'll find Risky Boots floating in the air.


And finally, after defeating the next Tinkerbeast, you'll find Rottytops next to some blocks.
Stage 6:2
After the first screen transition, you'll find Twitch hiding under a set of blocks next to a spike trap.


The second girl you'll find is Risky Boots during the next lava platforming section, right next to a block stair

On the next screen, right after the first spike trap, you'll see Vinegar floating up in the air.


Later, at the end of this section, you'll find Sky floating above the entrance to the final hallway.


And finally, you'll find Rottytops next to a Tinkerbeast.
Mission Complete
With that, you have collected all 75 Hooligan Girls. Congratulations on a job well done, officer.
